Michael's Story

Michael has been in foster care for an entire year now! During this time, he has been reflecting and working on becoming the perfect cat for his new family.<br/>At 11 years old, Michael proves that you can teach an old *cat* new tricks. He came to us after his owner passed away. Originally an outdoor cat, Michael was brought inside a few years ago and much prefers indoor living! While he enjoys playing with toys and running around, his true loves are catnip and food. He also likes to lounge in a cozy cat bed and purr loudly, and now that he associates treats with humans, he enjoys following people around.<br/>Michael used to get easily overstimulated, but with patience and treats, he has learned to respect boundaries and walk away when needed. He has even started socializing with other friendly cats who respect his space.<br/>We believe Michael could make the perfect best friend for adults or a family with respectful, older kids!<br/><br/>Michael is estimated to be about 11 years old. He has been neutered, dewormed, flea treated, vaccinated, microchipped, and has tested FIV/FeLV-. Please apply for Michael today!

Trash Cat Rescue's Adoption Policy
Typically the potential adopter reaches out either with or without a specific cat in mind. We will usually ask questions about the type of cat the adopter is interested in (any preferences as far as gender, color, personality, etc.), as well as the sort of home the cat would be going to (any kids, other pets, etc.). If we have a cat or kitten who would be a good fit, the adopter can fill out our application for that animal. If not, the person can still fill out the app, and we will keep them if mind if we end up with a cat who we think would be a good fit. Once the app is reviewed/approved (including checking vet and landlord references), we would chat any further with the adopter if needed, and then schedule a meet and greet with them with the cat or kitten. If the animal and the adopter hit it off, the adopter would then fill out our adoption agreement, pay the adoption fee, and take the cat or kitten home!
